Harry Reid: “I am stunned by the statement of Secretary Paige. I have the greatest…”

On the recordFebruary 23, 2004

I am stunned by the statement of Secretary Paige. I have the greatest respect for Governor Doyle. I know if he said he said it, he said it. But with regard to the NEA, for example, someone I went to high school with spent much of his adult life working for the NEA, organizing all over the West. That is a terrible thing to say about my friend Rinaldo Martinez, that he is part of a terrorist organization. That is stunning. Back to the loss of 2.8 million manufacturing jobs.
